Was it really plexi glas or was it acrylic?
Plexi glass either one could work.
DIY Creators okay thx!
u can cut plexiglass with stanley nife
and then break it off
good video, very down to earth. I like that you don't use a bunch of crazy tools, or act pretentious about it, but still get a good result
ęo9
rasvial I agree on that

you the best
DIY Creators Do you have an estimate for how much the project cost?
awesome design. also love the lumiy lightblade desk lamp
alice marshall
Great video, sir! Once again you proved that with minimal tools, a person willing to take some time and follow a plan can be a DIYcreator and build a functional, modern, and beautiful lamp. Bravo!
I appreciate you letting us learn from your mistakes. it's not enough to tell us what not to so, sometimes it helps to learn with you.
Yeah please do more like this! It's awesome to see wood and some electronics merge together to create household items we all use. Also, it's cool to see you do it all without power tools!
Amazing. This is called a designer or art work. How much hard work behind this , a genius mind also. Sometimes we think about a piece of work that how simple it is and it should be not that costly. But we don't realize the technicalities , brilliance & hard work behind it. That is why a designer or art work is priceless. Only the makers knew it's worth.👏👏👏
Dude, this is a great video - not only because of the interesting build but also because you're up-front about showing your mistakes and talking about what you might do differently next time. Good job.
Thank you! :)
thank you for sharing your awesome projects,
my nephew is 7 years old, he was so inspired. we went to Lowes. we made a Tray. it came out really nice.
I was trying to find more Black Carpenters so he can see more positive Black Men, that look like him, I looked for 2hrs. nothing came up, not even your channel, I found you by accident. your channel is truly a blessing to us.
Loving the videos and how you're not afraid to show your mistakes/teach us how not to do it! You inspire me to make something original!
You know what I liked the most? you showed that you do not always need sophisticated machines to make beautiful pieces.
i have a light that adjusts brightness by tapping a small touch sensitive spot with your finger. i feel like if/when i do this build i would integrate that somehow i think it would be a cool spin on it!!!
I really like this lamp, and I appreciate that you keep your mistakes in your videos. Mistakes happen and it's nice seeing ways to work through them.
Thank you, of course If I show my mistake I may save many from making the same one.
Very nice design and execution! Well done!
Thank you
DIY Creators what's the name of the yellow cutting tool that you are using
it's a miter (/mitre) block :)
Anna Green thank
Miter box amzn.to/2hHEcL5
I really like the you don't redo and edit out the things you do wrong. Makes it feel much more natural. People make mistakes
Thank you. I don't mind showing the mistakes.
20minutes of my time well spent looking at this video GREAT JOB TO YOU THUMBS UP👍
Ha thank you thrilled to hear. I was worried that length of the video would turn viewers away. Then I thought about the info I would have to cut out which would have defeated the purpose.
DIY Creators The length didn't turn me away you did a great job breaking down the project step by step and just seeing the lamp at the beginning of the video I didn't care how long it took to hear and see the completion of the project/video
As ive got a nerve disease and can't work anymore im starting to miss building stuff like this more and more, and its good to see the pride u have in making it, ill go ahead and try to hobby it a lil bit more and maybe got some ideas for you!
This guy is a genius
I like your videos but I especially like your narrations. You tell us exactly what you did and point out how you could have done it better. Much respect.
Nice project! My personal suggestion would be to change the zinc philips head bolt for a countersunk socket head bolt, ideally one that had been plated black or a raw stainless steel fastener. Most bolts I buy from suppliers come in black, so there's no need to buy silver ones and paint them, as you should be able to get a black one fairly easily.
It's amazing how much cleaner exposed fasteners look when they're socket-head.... even if it does make things look like they came from IKEA lol.
Home Depot and other big box stores sell 24" x 48" diffusers with a variety of textures in clear and milky white that are normally used under fluorescent lights. They are about $10.00 and could be cut down to work and would eliminate the painting. It would add cost but give you a reason to build several more. This is a very cool design.
This is nice lamp on worktable. Its better use aluminium under LED for cooling and fire prevence. 😉
while not the most advanced projects i really apriciate how much effort you put into your projects to makr them very clear and visable. it really brings the viewer into the project.
and your discriptions so clearly list everything. THANK YOU for your contributions!!!
Thank you, my pleasure.
This came out awesome. Good job man!
I really enjoyed watching your gift in action. I've never seen an carpenter who is also an electrician, so inspiring. 👏🏾
OMG That is crazy good looks like something from Crate and Barrel!! BTW that's a compliment
CB2
I think this lamp is better than the stuff from crate and barel...😂😂
I am a seamstress so I am measuring, cutting and assembling all the time....I can do this! You make it look sooo simple.....u know, I'll pose my questions soon. Great job!
You sir is making art.Keep up the good work:)
Thank you:)
you did a really good job working out all the kinks and problems and making the design as well finished and professional as possible
Thank you. Yep these are all made for the first time. Of course if I make a prototype I'd have no mistake to show. Then that wouldn't be any fun.
Great work and project! One comment about your soldering though. At 18:35 you were "carrying" the solder to the wires, i.e. melting solder on the iron and then applying it to the wires. That's a bad technique creating cold solder joints where the solder hardens but not actually bonds to the metal of the wire. This can cause failure over time, especially when the joints are moving. try applying a bit of solder to the iron to improve contact, then apply the iron to the wires to heat them up and only then bring the solder in contact with the wire. The solder will melt around the wire and bond with it, creating a good contact joint that will last as long as the concrete base.
I always get the wire insulation melted using this technique :(
Thanks for showing me how to add a low voltage lighting system to a wooden lamp and how to make and attach a concrete base. I am planning a similar project.
Great video again! i like it that you show flaws and ways to improve on it or to cover them.
Thank you. I know showing mistakes are not a sexy thing but I do it to help viewers.
the way you tell us how to fix that problem how to fix those problem is what makes u different from all others ❤❤ love your work we want more project regarding study-working table and things. like this
you are the Sir Sir, wonderful
Mate this may be 4 years old but it's fantastic! Thanks especially as you point out your mistakes something few CZcams DIY'd include.
Nice idea, I might have to build one of those for my computer desk! :-)
Thank you.
I'm a craftsman. This is craftsmanship. Nice work!
Nice! thank you.
Amazing, man. Good job.
Very Nice Glen I like the modern look. since you had some ooops on the cement just rub a little joint compound on it and lightly sand then repaint. you will like the look.
Thanks man, I appreciate the tip.
Beautiful lamp, make another please.
Out of all the wood working channels I am subbed to. Your's is the only one doing cool little interesting home decor projects from scratch. Love it.
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
Thank you!! You are a master!!!
really nice! you can also get the foggy effect on the plastic by sanding it.
Ingenious
Nice work. I like the use of hand tools for those that don't have routers and miter saws.
Thank you. That's the reason I did this one to prove that some projects can be done with less tools.
Awesome design Glen!
Hey thanks man!
great design and build.
That looks really nice. Well done!
Thank you
I'm an electrician for 31 years and the "bridge" analogy to describe a switch is brilliant.
Nice adjustment of parts)))
I love watching how everything turns out! I can't even use a power drill properly, but the directions are so clear and detailed, I feel like I could make all of this at home.
Thank you :) that's my goal.
THAT SO GOOD ..
Beautiful work..great video..nice to see a video where the worker isn't using all the fancy tools
Looks great but you should never switch the negative wire. Always switch the positive one. At 12V it may not matter but at bigger Voltages it could be a live saver. If someone gets into the electric circuit by touching a metal part which is under power, it gives them a shock, even if the switch is turned of because the electricity flows through the body in the ground. ALWAYS SWITCH THE POSITIVE WIRE
I love how you're using more hand tools now, for folks like me that don't have access to power tools like you it's a real big help
I wish you were my brother
Or father
or sister
or pet rabbit
Or Husband
or a pet dog, wandering around the shop !
Outstanding!!! You sir are one of my favorite extraterrestrials
You the man my brother awesome project man I like it good job dude :)
Hey Thanks man :)
No problem my friend great job :)
As usual great job and awesome explanation. I’m always curious why people give thumbs down. If it’s not for you, just move on.
Glenn, as always mate, bloody good work!
I like that you didn't use all your big machines for this video, this is something i can try at home!
Wow this is so amazing u are very talented!
I made a simpler version of your floating shelf and I will also try to make this lamp as a gift for my lady. Thank you for how well you make your How-To's!
That's awesome man glad to hear. Your welcome I enjoy making these. Thanks for watching.
thats a very nice lamp bro!
Very good and helpful video.
Very clear message, simple no loud music.
Love to learn how you created the video, which cameras, which tripod angles etc.
Great Lamp! Love it. Great.
Cool build! Ultimately came out much bigger and bright than I would've thought
Thank you
can you teach on the led? why you connect all positive and one negative? i can't understand...
thanks
i like you channel
He connected the negative at the bottom. The reason he soldered one negative at the top because the led connection at the bottom o f the most right strip was blocking the connection of negatives at the bottom. Just look at 14:05 and freeze the frame there.
Did not read all of the comments, so sorry if it has been said before. When you use sawdust as a filler, do not use a metal object such as a putty knife to push it down. Atleast with our woodglue that just turns dark and ugly, but when pushed with wood or plastic, does an amazing job. Thanx for the cool project idea
thanks!!
Outstanding modern design. I especially like the fact that you got the wood for FREE!
Thank you. Me too :D
Damnit you're so handy! I wish I had skills like this haha. Love your stuff. Dont know how you ended up on my recommendations but I'm glad. new sub.
A genius with vast creative ideas
man your videos are very handful, i'll send you a photo later on Facebook when I do it. I'd like your comments. thanks a lot.God bless u
did u do it?
Nice Project. Also something you may want to try out. Frosting on the glass Sanding it will give that Frosted look.
Perfect👍🏻
You're a craftsman, Glen. I learned many things from watching your video. What will stick with me are
(1) wiping on polyurethane satin finish rather than spraying it on
(2) spraying paint on one side of acrylic to hide wires
(3) sketching wire ingress/egress before cutting the wood
Thank you for sharing your tips.
That's Great Thank you :)
I literally blew on my screen to remove the cement dust when he drilled through the base.
Majdermind keep a spray bottle with water around and wear a mask.
Boomer 😂
That yellow cutting tool is awesome!
Wow amazing build !! :) great video more builds like this ;)
I love using my hands and this right here is a start up for me. Thanks for sharing your gift
Dooood ! that is cool!
Great video thanks. I installed LED strips on wood a while back and after a few months later they came unstuck so the next time I added some better glue just to be sure
Love this project but i'm way too dumb to do this myself
Thank you :) I bet you could this if you tired.

I'm not an electrician but I did study eet for 2 years and it's common to put the switch and fuse to the positive end. NOT saying I'm you should but it's safety 101 in electrical.
DC 12v look at 12:34.
I would you a fine sandpaper to frost up the plexiglas
Love your combination of wood, concrete and LEDs. Also all your projects are fresh and modern.
te quedo chingon amigo =)
I’ve sanded Perspex and acrylic to get a frosted look, also if your good with an
Angle grinder it works well for making precise cuts, just use a thin cutting disc and score the line before going all the way through, nice lamp btw
hey bro i love it, do you have any plans on the measurements?
Thank you Not yet I should have it by the weekend sometime.
looking forward bro... BTW can you make a video about the different tools you are using and why.
DIY Creators hey bro, did you finish the plans?
I never got the opportunity get to it sorry about that. check back with me on the weekend. Ill to get it done by then.
Cool i am really looking forward to it
Nice job Glenn. A project that "almost" anybody can make.
Thank you I agree.
Why rnt u a billionaire!?
Most of us love to create
Not the money
Not so the money
Life is 👍 Good
I built my own desk inspired by your video earlier, you are just awesome
Glen I just want to know if you're married 😂😂😂.
Latisha Valentine unfortunately no one is worthy.
Are few times that I enjoy enjoying projects and this I have enjoyed very carefully and I think it is a high quality work and a knowledge of a true professional, deserves a round of applause and my thanks for sharing your experience, greetings
Beautiful and elegant in its simplicity. Simple is almost always better. Thanks for posting this!
Thank you.
Great idea. Thanks.. Just a quick FYI, the lip on the miter box is so you can rest it over the edge of your work surface to help stabilize it. Thanks again for a good idea.
Hello from Brazil, i very liked this job, this LED Desk Lamp With Concrete Base is so amazing, congratulations.
Man your house must look prestine with your hand made themed furniture!
